there. was. a state of disarray leaders nato box revolt brings more fighting and fatality with a new all sources still unable to bring the country together again after the killing of colonel gadhafi. russian company roll snaps is one step closer to becoming the world's leading oil producer as the good of b.p. reportedly greenlights one of the biggest step and the treatments. plus accomplice in various chemical kills eight people including a top security official violent protests around the country and politicians cited sirena complex is spilling over the border.

from russia under around the world this is our sea with me yeah ship of our thanks for joining us and artillery barrage and multiple killings that that's what the residents of lee bez bani walid are still witnessing twelve months on from the nato backed revolt which topples the country's regime the besieged town traditionally loyal to the else of moammar gadhafi has been the target of attacks by pro-government militia and as all he's gonna check our reports is not the only victim of libya's new leaders. a year after the killing of warmer khadafi not only has the new government of levy immediate illegal to criticize the february revolution of last year but a group of militias affiliated with the country's defense ministry says the shelling parts of the country which were considered khadafi strongholds that bombing it from the air and rockets because then you would need was one of the towns which stood against the intervention of the outside world in body while the

local media report that the strikes have killed around a dozen people including children but apparently the people of bani walid are not the only ones persecuted by various militia groups in libya we saw the total wiping out of the thirty thousand strong town to want to go many are black libyans which the misrata brigades which are also laying siege to bani walid call themselves the brigades for the purging or black scheme it's such as a wonderful humanitarian and freedom loving. and discourse that they wiped out the town they've been chasing the people toward the civil war has left libya shredded in pieces with radical islamists taking advantage of the chaos basically what's happening is that in different cities here we pointed out the main ones tripoli is in town misrata each of them has their own army of militias there loosely united as the so-called libyan national shield at the same time they're not really under the control of the new defense ministry they're basically on their own according to

various reports most of them are even suspicious of the new government in tripoli on top of that division you also have one hundred forty tribes in the country one hundred forty tribes many of them have long running grievances against each other and they're located very close to each other for example the town of bani walid that we mentioned in the report is not even two hours away from misrata so amid all the food and lawlessness people in those places no anything can happen to them last year coalition forces armed libyans to the. t.c. in order to oust moammar gadhafi today the country is flooded with weapons of all kinds and this they made twenty million weapons are still freely circulating in libya that's in a country of six million people it's roughly three guns per person today there are multiple assassinations around benghazi different parts of libya where people are settling scores of all sorts of stripes it's chaotic forces in libya well those are

the weapons they have and the agency is not that it just is either to the tribal or that indeed politics despite the ongoing atrocities and chaos up until this september washington had the revolution in libya checked as a foreign policy victory for president obama after all the u.s. provided most of the foreign power which led to the capture and the killing of the libyan leader. yes we came resawing died. but only after the tragic attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi and the murder of the american ambassador did lead to come back into the spotlight it raises the question for the administration why didn't you see this coming if there was intelligence about the growing presence of al qaeda in eastern libya we have an election coming up and no one wants to take blame for messing up the arab spring president obama's most recent remarks suggested that his administration is not finished in libya we are going to find out who did this

and we're going to hunt them down because one of the things that i've said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with americans we go after them the obama administration has received congressional approval to allocate money for a special unit reportedly of some five hundred people who will allegedly be training counterterrorism forces in libya also there are anonymous reports that the cia is asking for more drones specifically for libya none of this sounds new drone strikes training forces in foreign nations but past experience has shown when the u.s. goes about. cleaning up the mess it often gets even messier in washington i'm going to check on. and political analyst dr abraham alou says levy is being deliberately pushed into chaos with a gateway open for a heavy influx of extremists the involvement of western countries was the source of trouble for libya as a whole we have seen that the state has become this month old as happened in iraq

and somalia or whatever the nato has walked or u.s. troops of walked and in fact there is not all of law and libya who brought an al qaida and to libya and now into syria again it's the same one stone involvement with the support of but through dollars from qatar and saudi arabia that is handing the country over to a group of fun out there criminals who are hell bent on on blood torture slitting throats and what have you bringing the country a buck and to medieval darkness so. we have seen very clearly what these people are aiming to do they want to punish when there were leads for its stance against the invasion of libya by nato this is a form of collective punishment against the whole population for standing up for the end of pendants and the sovereignty of their country. the violence in. libya is

being echoed in bahrain has called for the help of national community hoping it's created pressure the monarchy towards change but some of the experts think western self interest will ignore the will of the plots. i mean if mitt romney wins i'm moving we can get a. it's that simple. as election day draws near americans prepared for all possible outcomes even a rigged election and dotty's new york president asked the people of the big apple what they would do. b.p.'s board of directors of supportively is set to confirm this sale of its shares of the joint venture t n k b p to the russian oil giant rosneft it would make ross nash the world's biggest listed all producing the deal went through. has been following b.p.'s board meeting in london. according to various media sources close to the deal b.p.'s board of

directors today unanimously approved the sale of its fifty percent stake if its russian joint venture t.n. k.b.p.s. igor sets in who's the head of ross now after he met with b.p.'s chief executive in london ahead of the official offer made by the russians and bob dudley reportedly addressed bibi's board of directors where he spoke about the advantages that would be brought to the british oil giant if they accepted the ross net deal and according to reports tonight it looks as though the board of directors unanimously agreed with bob dudley and approved this very important deal in exchange for selling half of russia's third largest company b.p. is going to receive around seventeen billion dollars in cash from ross nafta but they're also going to get an all important thirteen percent state in ross next itself that's going to make b.p.

the biggest shareholder in ross after the russian state itself for b.p. it's an extremely attractive offer because it gives them exploration rights in the russian arctic now for a company that we know just in june said wanted to pull out of russia because of a deal that had gone sour with their joint venture and their russian partners now to have the chance to have a stake in russia's largest oil company and to have these all important arctic exploration rights is something that bob dudley is probably very happy about this evening for a last nasty well they could be well on their way to being the largest investor owned oil company listed in the world. british prime minister david cameron is about to be welcomed home from brussels by massive crowds but they are likely to be carrying the mail we'll bring you more on the u.k.'s discontent later on in the program. also had the cia ask for the white house for more drones

so it can keep up its aerial assaults on pakistan and yemen while to stakes address the vast majority of those killed simply it's. a massive complex the center of the lebanese capital beirut killing at least eight people and injuring dozens a top security official is among the dead sunni muslims across the country were infuriated with the assassination their protests turned violent with gunfire reported in several cities and roads blocked by burning tires our correspondent in the region has more on the blast and the ensuing unrest. it occurred to the ground two forty five pm local time when everybody was on their way to picking up the two picking up kids from kindergarten schools this is a short day it's friday a holy day for muslims of course a lot of people have reported those who live as far as one of the longer wait for the scene of the blast they have reported their open doors being shut to slammed

shut windows shattering and shaking people just generally very unnerved by the situation again we're getting also getting reports of people that we know where the area there is widespread panic all over the place such explosions have a half of a cup and into your room since two thousand and eight so a lot of people are naturally very nervous there are reports of body parts on fences in the surrounding area the buildings of course have been just stories the ones that are actually in the area of the blast so obviously all the rubble with the furniture with the wires with the electricity everything is on the street it's a total mess people can't get in or get out of the area firefighters working at the scene hospitals reporting shortage of blood encouraging people to come in and don't need blood of course. so really very desperate of time is a very desperate time in beirut right now nothing definite is known but there are already voices saying that this is a spillover from the conflict that's happening just across the border in syria and the sunni shia standoff in beirut is already starting to rise up again it was kind

of a bad burner but now it may be gripping the country once again and some lebanese m.p.'s are raising accusing the syrian regime of being behind the blast but a buried based expert on the middle east says these allegations aren't dictated by politics. already we have the now the political element coming into play some elements of the march fourteenth movement which is known to be anti bush. even before it was known who was killed in this explosion they quickly pointed the finger at the syrian government now with the head of intelligence security who apparently has a main killed more targeted that he is known to be actually a robot fourteen is known not to be one of the supporters want to be very very likable person or those who are in government so i think now this would only lead to more and more biggest problem are fourteen i mean from their west and how is it being pointed at syria the question which must be raised in all of these cases is

who benefits from such an act i think you know if the syrian government does go ahead although we don't have any information but if it does go ahead with acts i think it's only in there during it's so often committing suicide. is the syrian government as such is that as to what sort of a government i myself don't see saw. and lebanon is now the only country in the region of sealing the shock waves of the syrian conflict talk is military has reportedly fired into syria once again after two shells landed on turkish territory and this is just the latest border incident between the two countries with tension between un karrar and damascus remaining at dangerous levels taking has been shining syria since a straight shot from across the border killed five civilians an attack on earlier this month damascus claims its fighting rebels were using a safe haven on the border accusing turkey of openly supporting them and supplying arms. to remember to check out r.t. dot com for more news and analysis and here's what might catch your eye that. story

can't recall in my lifetime a government becoming so unpopular so quickly when they came in we didn't hear you know people the anger because what's happened is that the paint not being affected by these one percent are doing very well thank you very much whereas the burden is calling on the poor disabled who've had their benefits cut the government all they can do is say got to keep trying to cut cut cut making it worse but of course one percent doing ok government represents the one percent there's real real. now because it's not just the current policy it seems to be a very out of touch arrogant really arrogant couple of very rich people you know government. and i think i can't see david cameron being reelected in twenty fifteen i just can't and today's kinds of report brings you some insight into the life of the one percent and the simple pleasures of life in tax havens we talk about that you know it's around washington d.c. filled with chocolate oh i see. another beautiful shangri-la in the mountains

off and a music from the country's largest opposition party says western nations turn a blind eye to the types. who are not seeing the measures that been taken against what they are at their. international community is soft and then words with religion won't tell but anyone who would be calling for the international community to be said if we don't want them to help us and over the growing go to jeanne but we want to. talking about. our son do not see this town with us in implementing every market they gathered in encompass all the enemy and so he is what we call an inclusive democracy that does not undermine anyone who sees and scared him of course he is very important for us on that front and didn't international body is but unfortunately when it comes to gc's the

country is this is the side that is not by the end because all this started getting clear simple in independence in the south involving police since the use of these. girls into other countries so-called cloaking. the loves and that's why we've been victims of this truck that you. can see the sun. and to other news from across the globe a boy died as an angry mob wreaked havoc in the streets outrage was caused by a new law which allows the state of state owned land within a duty free zone near the pond a market now demonstrators take over the miles take revenues of the city violent protests have been depreciating o'connell's for three days now the government on the sale of london south america's largest free trade zone will yield way to profit . the family all the former cuban leader fidel castro has denied rumors it has

suffered a massive stroke side its source several reports citing a ben is well and doctors say that castro is an abridged of state and has weeks to live at best the magic that made claims before which later proved to be a false saying in april that venezuela's hugo chavez was days away from death. this cia has stores the white house it wants more drones which could see more controversial u.s. missions by the unmanned aircraft in pakistan but despite statistics adjusting eighty percent of those killed in such strikes are civilians and antony's suffer from the center for advanced defense studies believes drones actually hurt intelligence efforts. what you see is the president the the private prison mr h. the obama white house becoming overreliant on drones one of the things about those that these drones are part of the kill capture program but what we've forgotten is the capture part of the program dead men tell no tales and we have created

a dearth of intelligence by the fact we would capturing people quit interrogating them that's why you saw a lot of things going on regarding this resurgence of al qaeda troops is a county network was used to our benefit during the soviet occupation is being used against us now because we failed to understand the politics of pakistan and we're suffering the results of it again good human intelligence would help solve this using drones to kill mid-level leaders is not helping us is creating the next generation of leaders who are more committed to the death and destruction of united states and our allies much more than the ones we were dealing with before so i don't see the drone program as a path to victory and the current application. the u.s. election campaign is that final phase of the two main kind of the bottle to win of the closing but it would be a race expected to be close also he's resident after new york is if they have any fees that the fairness of the vote could be compromised.

electronic voting machines owned by a company with strong republican ties are set to count the vote in ohio which very well could determine the outcome of the two thousand and twelve us presidential election so is there a chance that mitt romney could steal this election this week let's talk about that even if ohio if one person wins i think about the other person can win without ohio yes but no republican has ever won ever without winning ohio this time. i mean if mitt romney wins i'm moving to canada. is that then by that simple do you think there's a possibility that this election could be stolen. this is going to be stone. it would be stolen by the democrats why do you say that because they're going to lose and if they lose they're going to be extremely bummed out anything is possible does that scare you sure so do you vote still any way or absolutely that you

can't just let fear keep you from being participatory right no do you think it's possible that mitt romney could steal the election i think it's very possible i think it's close and it's going to come down to the last minute so it's going to be something a little like that that could sway it which is unfortunate and a lot of people don't even know about it they just think oh well he won so that but yeah what do you do about it want to make sure you go vote for brock. and tweet about her right now so much for people on the street they told me about one of my ficus houses one day they'd be a third party would win the election no it didn't matter it doesn't matter where the you know green libertarian conservative whatever just to break the halls of the two party system and if he's a she that wouldn't be bad either right so i want to magically said he says i used to. does it concern you that there's things like best in our country in general breaux bridge or sure that kind of thing shouldn't shouldn't really happen. but i

guess it does it happens a lot of places you don't ever find out about you know why don't we find out about this stuff why isn't there more transparency about what's really going on because like you say there's lots of money and whether or not you think romney's going to steal the election the bottom line is both evoluting machines in ohio are owned and operated by a company whose employees have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to the romney campaign so they very well could be determining who wins ohio a state that often determines who wins the election. and we're keeping a close eye on the upcoming u.s. elections on the two top come to the china will also help provide third party and independent candidates with a stage to have their say in a live televised debate cheating on monday falsely special coverage of the race for the white house. will there be a war on iraq. china friend or foe is missile defense offensive.

i. iran's disputed nuclear program has managed to dominate headlines for years and today as u.s. officials continue debating over a potential strike against tehran a newly released court weighs the advance and consequences of taking military action joining me now to talk more about this topic is dr alston long the associate

professor of international public affairs at columbia university he's also the co-author of a new report titled weighing the benefits and costs of military action against iran thank you very much for joining me today thanks very much it's a pleasure to be here dr long a bipartisan group of national security experts are the authors and signatories of this extensive report according to your findings is iran's nuclear program currently a threat to the us president it's not a threat to united states iran's nuclear program is under international atomic energy agency action. work that they had previously done according to u.s. intelligence community on nuclear weapons it's been suspended so at present iran's nuclear program is not a major threat to united states the concern is that it could very rapidly become one how rapidly in less than a year according to some estimates and other estimates more than a year a lot.
